Legend

Jabba's ratlike retainer, he is a Kowakian monkey-lizard. Salacious has an obnoxious laugh, and has the annoying habit of mimicking what is said around him. Crumb was a resident of the space station Kwenn when Jabba the Hutt visited there. Crumb escaped a group of Mantilorrian rat catchers by stowing away on Jabba's starship. He sustained himself by eating Jabba's leftovers, until Jabba discovered the lizard-monkey and tried to eat him. Bidlo Kwerve and Bib Fortuna both tried to capture Salacious Crumb, but Crumb dumped Jabba's food on Kwerve and fled to the rafters. Kwerve tried to shoot Crumb, but only food squirted out of the gun, landing on Fortuna. Jabba's laughter resounded throughout the ship, and from that point on the Hutt kept Crumb around for a daily dose of laughter. Salacious Crumb knew that the day he couldn't make Jabba laugh was the day he died. He searched Jabba's palaces and townhomes for new jokes. He even waylayed strangers and tried to set them up for a meeting with Jabba, just to give the crimelord a laugh. It is believed that Salacious Crumb died when Jabba's sail barge exploded at the Pit of Carkoon. Note that the Return of the Jedi expansion set for the Star Wars Trading Card Game gives Salacious the middle initial B.
